    I remember reading an interview many years ago with Ray Bradbury or one of the other leading authors of the time. In it he described the most irritating things that interviewers do.

    First, is to ask where they get their ideas from.

    The second, was to call their genre of books "SiFi". It's called "Science Fiction", he said.
